Technology Incorporated in Media


Different modes of technology influence us everyday. Through new technological developments we are affected by the media. In our world today we are constantly updated with news, ads and events through our cellphones or by some sort of device we use everyday.
It seems like most people either have a IPhone or Blackberry two leading cellphone brands and everyday the people with these devices are updated with news from all around the world.
Media Plays such an important role in influencing what is important in our society. If it wasn't for these new devices that allow us to be informed about what is going on in the world we would not be so much emphasis on news, movies, and tv shows.
The news is framed into a particular way to show more emphasis on certain events which make us believe, that is more important. These frame's may happen because of top executives who cannot report real facts because of their investors who allow their programs to run. If it isn't for advertisers, networks would not be able to air their shows to the public without charging them.
Also, Movie and TV show critics, report more on certain shows to spark the popularity of the show. Through this tactic more people watch these shows because they may seem more popular or appealing. Media effects what we watch and think about in this world. Our perspectives are changed through the way media represents it to the public.
